In his junior year, he was one of only two “Oxford Scholars” chosen to spend a summer at Oxford University in the U.K. He graduated from Troy in 1980, cum laude, with a BS in English and a full scholarship to Cumberland Law School. Latta gives back as a member of Troy’s Board of Trustees, and supports the Troy Annual Fund. In 1985, he co-founded Troy’s first chartered alumni chapter, Southwest Alabama Chapter). Today, Troy has 42 chartered alumni chapters, which use the charter drafted by Forrest 40 years ago.
